Embodiment Construction

[0100]With reference now to the figures and, in particular, with reference to FIG. 1, an exemplary diagram of a data processing environment is provided in which the advantageous embodiments may be implemented. It should be appreciated that FIG. 1 is only exemplary and is not intended to assert or imply any limitation with regard to the environments in which different embodiments may be implemented. As used herein, the term exemplary refers to an example and not necessarily an ideal implementation. Many modifications to the depicted environments may be made.

[0101]Turning now to FIG. 1, a diagram illustrating a network data processing system in which a software part management environment may be implemented is depicted in accordance with an advantageous embodiment. In this example, network data processing system 100 is a network data processing system in which information may be transferred between aircraft network 101 and ground network 103. This information may include, for example,...

Abstract

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for processing aircraft software parts. A crate containing an aircraft software part is received from a source. Signatures are validated for the crate and the aircraft software part. If the signatures are valid, the crate is unpacked. The contents of the incoming crate are displayed. The aircraft software part is unpacked. Responsive to a request to upload the stored part to a library in the aircraft software part management apparatus, a determination is made as to whether the stored part meets a policy. If the stored part meets the policy, the part is signed. The signed part is placed in a crate and is signed to form a signed crate wherein signatures for the signed aircraft software part and the signed crate are different from the set of signatures in the incoming crate. The signed crate is sent to the library.

Description

RELATED PROVISIONAL APPLICATION[0001]The present invention is related to and claims the benefit of priority of provisional U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 990,434 entitled “Crate Tool”, filed on Nov. 27, 2007, which is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND INFORMATION[0002]1. Field[0003]The present disclosure relates generally to an improved data processing system and, in particular, to a method and apparatus for managing software for aircraft. Still more particularly, the present disclosure relates to a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for managing loadable software airplane parts, as well as other documents related to the parts known as part usage assets or simply as assets.[0004]2. Background[0005]Modern aircraft are extremely complex. For example, an aircraft may have many types of electronic systems on board. A particular electronic system on an aircraft may also be referred to as a line replaceable unit (LRU). Each line repl...
